Accepting my failings

FO: knitted rose

About 2 years ago I decided I wanted to try knitting with wire. It’s not something I’m going to make a habit of, not bcause it hurts your fingers but because a) wire is more expensive than wool and b) I have no idea what to do with the things I end up making…

This has been sitting in 3 pieces in my in-tray for over a year waiting to be made up but having no idea what to do with it afterwards it took a WIP clear up regime to actually finish it off…and it was a year between making the rose and making the leaf due to the cost of the wire

The red wire is leftover from the earrings I made 2 years ago and the gold is left over from the wire basket I made last year. The pattern is from a book Wire Knits.
